Walker will be released from his pres ent arrest, and it is probable that a process will be commenced to bring him to trial for vi silation of the neutrality laws. Capt. Engle had a long interview with the President to-day, and detailed to him all the circumstances connected with the arrest of Walker. Gen. Walker arrived this evening, accompa nied by Marshal Rynders, T. F. Meagher, and Malcolm Campbell. He we■ received with cheers by a large concourse of people, as be entered his quarters at Brown's Hotel. Shortly after Captain Isaiah Rynders, with General Walker, repaired to the Brats Deport: aient, when the former stated to Secretary Cass that Ito had received a communication from Commodore Paulding, saying he had ar. rested General Walker for carrying on an un lawful military expedition against Nicaragua, and that General Walker had promised him (Paulding) upon his honor to surrender him. self to Captain Renders, as Marshal for the Southern District of New-York, on arrival in that city. Captain Renders stated that Gener. al Walker had done so, nod that he (Rynders) had accompanied him to Washington to aster• lain the views of the Government. Gen, Cass replied that the Executive De partment of the Governmet did not recognize Gen. Walker as a prisoner ; that he had no directions to give concerning him, and that it wits only through the action of the Judiciary that he (Walker) could be lawfully held in cut, tody to answ, any charges which may be brought against him.

Dar general Denver, the new Gover nor of Kansas, it is affirmed, has declared openly his approval of the course of Wal ker and Stanton, and that the Admini.dra tion is mistaken if it supposes he will not follow their example. At the urgent re• quest of a large party of free State men from Lawrence, Governor Denver has given up to them 'he arms taken by Gov ernor Geary during his administration, from the large body of immigrants who reached Koons by the northern route. General li'dridge gave a bond that They should not be used for ten days, which of course includes the election on the 4th. The militia act passed by the Kansas legislature, and also the other acts passed over the Governor's vetoes, tailed to be come laws in consequence of the presi ding officers not having affixed thtAr signa tures prior to aijourmnent, being rather green nt the business of legislation. President Buchanan is said to approve strongly of Commodore Paulding's letter, and to condemn the morality of the hunter enterprise, while on the other hand the Southern majority in the Cabinet dis approve of the Commodore's act. The St. Louis Evening News, the State organ of the American party in Missouri, openly approves of the armed movements of the free State men in Kansas. It pub lishes an editorial article headed "Civil War in Kansas—lts Righteousness—Let the People Arm for Reststance !" The following paragraph is worthy of note: •"We turn to the people of Kansas. They have been shamefully deceived and betrayed in regard to the privilege of choosing their own constitution, ar.d reg ulating their domestic institutions, and they have sworn to resist usurpation to the hitter end. We applaud them fur it, and say, God speed them in the right. Let them take up arms and defy Mr..Buchen. an and his troops, and return shot for shot as long as they have in gun and a man to fire nt. When they have all fallen in th e righteous cause, there will be a million freemen to take their places and carry on the war."
